Jaguar Land Rover, the British automotive company that is most famous for its Jaguar and Range Rover cars, has unveiled a concept car with an incredibly elaborate heads-up windshield display, combined with “transparent” pillars that provide full 360-degree vision and remove any blind spots. Mario Kart fans in particular will like the advanced HUD: To help with navigation, it has a ‘ghost car’ mode, which projects an image of a small semi-transparent car onto the windshield, showing you where to go.

By now, even if you don’t consider yourself a hardware nerd, you probably know that the PlayStation 4 is significantly more powerful than the Xbox One. So now we’re going to change the conversation a bit, and discuss how much more powerful the PS4 is than the PS2. According to Sony (which produced the infographic pictured above), thanks to the PS4’s eight-core CPU, it has 43 times the processing power of the PS2! Of course, this is a completely meaningless comparison — so let’s dive in and look at things in a slightly more rational manner.

AMD’s Kaveri is, in many respects, a huge step forward. The new APU’s low-power performance is excellent, its integrated graphics torpedo anything Intel offers at an equivalent price point, and it includes support for features like Mantle, HSA, and TrueAudio. Yet, despite these lauded capabilities, there’s a clear problem sitting in the middle of Kaveri like a turd in the proverbial punchbowl: Steamroller.

Tomorrow, Microsoft will finally unveil the Xbox 720. Not only will we find out its real name (the money seems to be on Xbox Infinity), but more importantly we will find out how the Xbox 720’s hardware stacks up against the PS4 and gaming PCs. Merely comparing hardware specs is incredibly naive, though — to find out why, read on.

In a move that clearly signals Microsoft’s desperation to get ahead of Sony’s PlayStation 4 by any means possible, the Xbox One’s CPU has been speed boosted from 1.6GHz to 1.75GHz — 150MHz, or just under 10%. At the same press conference, Microsoft also said that the Xbox One has entered mass production, and that it’s on schedule for a November release — though we still don’t have an exact release date.
